Mamata Banerjee Blocks Governor On Twitter After “Gas Chamber” Remark
Kolkata:
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee blocked governor Jagdeep Dhankhar from her Twitter account on Monday, a day after he said the state had become “a gas chamber for democracy”, in signs that ties between the two leaders neared a point of no return following years of acrimony.
“I apologise for it in advance. He (Jagdeep Dhankhar) tweets something every day abusing me or my officers. Says unconstitutional, unethical things. He instructs not advises. Treats an elected government like bonded labour. That’s why I have blocked him from my Twitter account. I was getting irritated,” Mamata Banerjee said at a news conference.
